Props Added

We decided for the final piece to parallel our target audience's opinion given from our mood board. We learned that one of the greatest fears of our demographic was the use of mask's, particularly clowns and childhood figures. We were informed that masks were disturbing because they enabled the subject to hide their identity, and thus their character - making them unreliable and mysterious, something we aimed to achieve with our film.

Coursework Deadline

It's coursework deadline today! We're just polishing our final piece, moving clips left and right to sync smoothly with the music. We're going to have to now upload the video onto youtube, then instantly embed it into our blog.

Cast




Our title sequence requires one actor who doesn’t say a single thing, only move. We had a number of options, however due to constrictions from colleges we had to find an enthusiastic and keen person to work with. Jack Vaughan will be our actor and we are very glad that he is helping us out.

Definite Location in Huntingdon Hall.


After Filming outside Northwick and in Worcester our first shoot was successful, but too complete it will were looking for an old fashioned theatre which is easy to access. After emailing and ringing Worcester Live we have gained access to Huntingdon Hall on Wednesday the 19th for 2-3 hours with no fee, for this we are very grateful. We have waited so late to film because this was the only week that the stage was clear and we were very determined to film there. Professional lighting is been used giving our piece a professional feel. We are very excited to film in such a great location and watch our idea come to life.

Shoot one at Northwick and Worcester Town.

On Tuesday the 11th of January, we set out filming and targeted to capture our first 30 seconds for our opening in Worcester and Northwick. We found a grim back alleyway that we took a series of dull, dirty and rough objects and images that connote our characters personality. These images will be used subliminary to connote the meaning. Also in Worcester we stumbled upon a antique shop that had a 20th century image of the theatre that we were filming at next, thanks to a kind worker he let us take a shot of it which will add a great effect to the final product.

After filming in Worcester we made our way to North wick theatre, this is a perfect location to give a 1930's classy impression that we were looking for. Here we took a number of shots of the building and some statues. We are unable to use inside as it's no longer a theatre so instead we have permission to use Huntingdon hall in Worcester. This is a perfect old fashioned theatre and we couldn't of asked for much more.

Overall the shoot was a success and we are very please how the shoot when and we are very much looking forward to the capturing the rest of our film on the 19th of January. We had to wait for a dater date for the theatre to become available.
